Alone your great, together were unstoppable? Bullsh*t

Ok I've been playing the WWE series since Attitude the first Smackdown back on the PSX and I've always been a fan despite them finding the best feature of each game and removing it for the next installment (2 player career being the biggest one) however as the games progress the games get a little prettier but the system gets more and more ridiculous.

There's no good difficulty settings whatsoever. If you have it on normal mode you won't have to plug your controller in. The computer will stand idly by without fighting back and you will enjoy beating Kane with Ashley however if you switch to legend mode then you will just be eaten up by a world of constant reversales and stressful, unrealistic damage counters. You can beat your opponent senseless with weapons and pedigrees alike just to find they will reverse your next move with ease or stay down for less than 5 seconds despite having red body, blood everywhere and most of their limbs broken. At least with the old WWE Attitude, once they were dead...they were dead.

The multiplayer is just a total joke. The whole tagline suggests a massive 2player co-operative system...wrong. There is ONE 2player career mode which lasts less than an hour...and that's it. All you can do is crappy little exhibitions and if you want to play online together your going to require 2 xboxs, 2 games and 2 TVs...HA

The physics still have nasty flaws, heads through ropes, no weight limitations, characters floating in midair to hit their target, falling 20 ft off ladders only to forward roll and stand back up in the blink of an eye...

The updates are expensive, the unlockables are a total waste of time (Tony, a copy of Randy Orton, DX pants? Who the hell cares about them), the online system is trash and the wrestlers aren't even up to date, not even close. I mean...where's Christian?

This game is fun for a few hours, then you just realise you've been duped. Just rent it, you can finish all the game has to offer in a week.
